This system is moving into an area of strong upper-level winds and dry air, and the chances of it becoming a short-lived tropical storm are decreasing. The low is expected to move slowly northwestward today and then turn northward and northeastward on Tuesday and Wednesday. Additional information on this system, including gale warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. * Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent.
